IP classifications and standards
The four existing international classification systems facilitate and simplify IP searches. They organize an array of information on inventions, trademarks and industrial designs into indexed, easy-to-use structures for search. These systems include:
- International Patent Classification (IPC);
- Nice Classification (trademarks);
- Vienna Classification (figurative elements of marks);
- Locarno Classification (industrial designs).
WIPO IP Office Standards help streamline the processing of data for filing, examination, publication, granting and registration of patents, trademarks and industrial designs. Common standards also promote the technical exchange of IP data between IP Offices and WIPO and facilitate the international dissemination and access to IP information.
